The second documentary was on another musical artist. They are Blink-182. The documentary was a show called "Born To Be". It cover the band history right up to their 2005 "indefinite hiatus".
The history of the band started in 1992 when the bassist Mark Hoppus met Tom Delonge the future guitarist of Blink-182. The two became good friends and formed a band called "Ducktape" along with a friend Scott Raynor. Then later changed it to "blink" but due to a threat of legal action had to change it again but this time to blink-182. The 182 standing for the number of times Al Pacino said the F word in movie Scarface.
Then in 1998 drummer Scott Raynor left the band and Travis Barker took the position. That's pretty much been the line-up ever since. Since Travis joined, the band has made three very successful albums Enema Of The State, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, and the self-titled album. Each spawning single such as All The Small Things, What's My Age Again, The Rock Show, and I Miss You.
But shortly after their latest album Blink-182 called it quits because of some internal band argument over the future direction of the band. Then this year at the 51st Annual Grammies the band announced that they were getting back together and were going on tour this summer.
So all's well that ends well.
